Hi,
We have a satellite Dish (free to air) and an ordinary bog standard ariel in the attic for the rte's and tv3/tg4 etc..... our tv is an old one...
When I went to extra vision, the guy told me that the tv's on sale there will only read digital signals, and that our old ariel would not be compatible with it. In other words We would only get the free to air channels and not the domestic ones. Something about it not reading the old analogue signals, but only reading digital ones.....
....i'm also reading on this site about MPEG4 compatible tv's, whereby one can receive crystal clear rte etc without the sky package....??
I'm a little confused now as to what it is I should buy?? All I know for certain is that it needs to be 32 inch and flat screen..
My questions again are:
What are the important technical requirements that it needs to have, to suit our current setup?
Is it possible to receive rte1/2/tv3/tg4 through MPEG4, and how is this done? (I live in the midwest)
Thanks,
